84_84041 "What?" the old lady exploded immediately, "One million taels?"
Feng Jinyuan felt that the old lady's reaction was a bit exaggerated, and quickly advised her: "Mom, don't be angry. You must not dodge again."
"Ah Heng is taking care of my waist, so you don't have to worry about it. Tell me, what's the deal with one million taels?"
Feng Jinyuan knew the old lady well and knew how difficult it was to get money from her. The reason why he wanted the 50,000 yuan before was because the old lady was reasonable and knew that his future was the most important thing.
The ministers have all donated money. The Feng family is a family of high-ranking officials, and they cannot fall behind others. But the difference between fifty thousand and one million is too big, right?
"Mother," he said bravely to the old lady, "it's the Third Highness's business."
Old Mrs. Feng shook her head like a wave, "No, no, what does it mean for you to be the middleman of the house? One million taels, only wealthy people like the Shen family can afford it. Do the math yourself.
How much is your annual salary? How much is our family’s income from the shop outside? What are the daily expenses at home? How can I possibly scrape together that one million for you?"
"But the Third Highness is doing serious business there!" Feng Jinyuan couldn't help but get anxious, "My son has promised the Third Highness to send one million taels for his work abroad. Mother, you also know that this year's winter disaster is serious.
This is true in the capital, let alone outside. The reason why we chose His Highness the Third was not because he was a man with big plans, and we also recognized his preparations outside!"
The old lady knew that he was talking about the soldiers and horses that the third prince secretly raised outside. Yes, those were indeed the capital of the third prince, and they were also the most fundamental reason why the Feng family thought about choosing sides. But... "Now that Chen Yu is
Look, I heard that the third prince’s concubine has recovered from her illness, so what hope do we have?”
Feng Jinyuan felt that the old lady could ask this question, and most of the time, the matter could still be discussed, so he quickly said: "Don't worry, mother, my son has sent people to find medicine about Shen Yu. It is said that there is something among the people that can make a woman return to her former self."
The secret medicine."
The old lady felt a little moved and asked, "Really?"
"It's true." Feng Jinyuan bravely made a promise, "The Feng family has trained Chen Yu for so many years, and they will never let her become a waste."
"But Chen Yu is a concubine now." The old lady thought of another key point, and couldn't help complaining about Yao, "Then Yao, too, has taken the position of mistress and wants to make peace with you. If you make such a fuss, not only will you
It’s shameless, and Chen Yu’s status is embarrassing!”
Feng Jinyuan naturally understands this truth, and he also knows that the third prince will not want a concubine to be his concubine, let alone who will inherit the throne in the future. Which queen can be born from a concubine? But he is not as pessimistic as the old lady. This matter just happened
He was upset for a while when it happened, but recently he had a new plan.
He smiled indifferently and comforted the old lady and said: "Chen Yu's status is only temporarily embarrassing. Since my son spared her life in the first place, he will naturally make more plans for her future. Mother can rest assured and let her son go first."
If we collect the one million taels of silver promised to His Highness the Third Highness, everything else will come true sooner or later."
He felt that when it came to this, the old lady should nod her head with full trust in him, give him a few instructions at most, and then tell the accountant to pay him the money.
But who could have imagined that after hearing what he said, the old lady nodded with satisfaction, and even praised him: "You are a person with plans, I can rest assured." Then she said again: "But the house account
In terms of face, I really have no money."
Feng Jinyuan was about to collapse with anger. Didn't he just say so much in vain? It would be over without any money?
He looked at the old lady helplessly and said, "Mother, do you know what impact your lack of money will have on your son's future?"
The old lady nodded, "I'm not confused yet. This is of course clear. But you also know that in the past, the Shen family was in charge of the household affairs, and there was always help from the Shen family on weekdays. Now that source has been cut off.
You ask me to take out one million taels, where can I get it? Also, when Mrs. Shen was in charge of Zhongfu a few years ago, our house was indeed full of food and clothing, but in fact we can see
She also has a lot of money. She likes to use things to win people's hearts, and she often sends me good things, but what kind of money has been given directly to me?"
Feng Jinyuan felt cold after hearing the old lady's analysis. He couldn't help but sigh heavily, "What should we do?"
But the old lady gave him a clear guide: "Actually, it's not completely impossible. You can find someone to borrow it."
"who?"
"Think about it, who is the richest in our family now?"
Feng Jinyuan's heart skipped a beat and he said casually: "Mother is saying...Aheng?"
"Well." The old lady looked at him and said: "If anyone in the Feng family can really come up with one million taels of silver, it's only Ah Heng. But as a father, it's impossible for you to go directly with them.
Most of the money in her hand was given by His Highness Ninth Prince. If you leave, I'm afraid there will be trouble in the future. But you can borrow it, make a note, and pay it back after the difficulty is over. There is still the possibility of negotiation.
.”
Feng Jinyuan felt dizzy. He didn't even want to talk to Feng Yuheng and asked him to borrow money from that girl? Isn't this nonsense?
"No, no." He shook his head subconsciously, "This method won't work."
The old lady put on a serious face, as if she hated iron and steel: "You are shrinking from this difficult problem? You still have great ambitions, but you can't figure out the affairs in the palace. How can you deal with the world?"
The old lady shouted so loudly that she woke up Feng Jinyuan.
Isn't that right? Things at home are not settled, and you still want to let your daughter take the back seat and stand behind her to become the head of the country?
"To achieve great things, you must not only have courage, but also be able to lower your head and bend your waist." The old lady's words came again, and each word entered Feng Jinyuan's heart.
He felt that this old lady seemed to be more shrewd than before, and she also saw further. She was no longer as greedy about money as before. She could even give him advice at this time, and even said this
Here are some words of encouragement.
Feng Jinyuan was a little excited. He stood up and suddenly felt that it was not a big deal to borrow money from Feng Yuheng. The old lady was right. Those who want to achieve great things must lower their heads and bend their waists.
He bowed deeply to the old lady and said, "Mother's teachings, my son will keep them in mind."
The old lady nodded, with endless expectations in her eyes.
Watching Feng Jinyuan leave, Nanny Zhao walked to the old lady with the medicine that Feng Yuheng had personally prescribed. Four small capsules, plus half a liang of rice wine, mixed with water, the old lady was very happy with it.
"It's a bit difficult for me to talk to the second young lady." Seeing the old lady frowning all the time, Aunt Zhao knew that she was also worried.
The old lady naturally understood this truth, but she sighed and said helplessly: "Otherwise, what else can we do? Since he has made a choice, our family and His Highness are tied together. One will be prosperous, and one will be harmed.
.Today's Chen Yu is no longer the same Chen Yu as before. If we ask her to negotiate conditions outside, I'm afraid we all have a guilty conscience. In the end, the Feng family still has to rely on Jin Yuan. Only if he is good can we not waste Shen Yu.
Fish has a phoenix life. Otherwise, what can be accomplished with just one girl?" The old lady took the medicine in Aunt Zhao's hand, thought about Feng Yuheng, and said: "It's a pity that Taoist Ziyang recognized that phoenix life back then.
It’s Chen Yu, otherwise it would be great if it were Ah Heng.”
Aunt Zhao advised her: "Don't worry, old lady. I think I already have a plan, otherwise I wouldn't protect the eldest lady like this."
"Hmph." Old Mrs. Chen Yu was unhappy when she mentioned it, "If it weren't for that phoenix life, I wouldn't have kept her." Thinking about it again, she was a little worried, "Say, what if this Chen Yu is really good in the future?
If you have a great future, will you turn around and hate the Feng family?"
Aunt Zhao was also shocked when she heard this. She had long felt that the eldest lady's heart was not for the Feng family, especially the way she looked at people sometimes, which always made people feel panicked. Relatively speaking, when she arrived,
The second young lady is more calm. If you like it, you like it, and if you don't like it, you don't like it. Although she is also evil, it is better than the eldest lady who is duplicitous.
"You also have such worries, right?" The old lady saw something was wrong with Nanny Zhao's expression, and snorted, "Whether he raised a phoenix or a wolf cub will be revealed sooner or later. It's a pity that the Ninth Prince is disabled, otherwise
, the future of the Feng family may depend on Ah Heng!"
Feng Jinyuan came out of Shu Yayuan and headed straight for Liuyuan. The encouragement given by the old lady made him have the urge to go to Feng Yuheng to borrow money immediately, but Shuyayuan was too far away from Liuyuan.
When he reached the boundary of Liuyuan, the impulse in his heart had already calmed down. The excitement was no longer there, and the worry returned.
If you ask Feng Yuheng to borrow money, you will definitely be ridiculed, right? To think that he is a dignified first-class official, but he is reduced to borrowing money from his daughter! This is different from borrowing money from Chen Yu, one is taking it, and the other is borrowing it.
He might even be forced to establish written evidence. Where would this put his face?
What's more, after going to Tongshengxuan, he had to face the Yao family. The woman who loudly announced her separation from him with an imperial edict in her hand made him unable to hold his head up in front of the ministers. If Yao family knew that he was looking for Feng
Yu Heng borrowed money, so he must be very contemptuous.
Feng Jinyuan stopped and looked at the half-blocked Moon Gate not far in front of him, retreating in his heart.
Want to go?
Don’t go!
Do you want to stop thinking about it?
After thinking about it, he decided to think about it again. Anyway, he told the Third Highness to send it to him before he left the capital. Now there are still three days, which is enough for him to think about it carefully.
Having made up his mind, Feng Jinyuan turned around and walked back. When he returned to Songyuan's study, he regretted that he had not had the courage to go in when he had already arrived at the gate of Liuyuan.
If you had entered just now, you would probably have finished your work by now, right?
When I think of this, I can't help but feel irritable again.
Youzi walked around the study for a few times, and then remembered what he had said to the old lady before. He suddenly stopped and shouted into the air: "Secret guard."
A figure flashed in front of him instantly.
"How did you go about what you said last time?"
The secret guard looked defeated, shook his head and said: "I am incompetent, that kind of medicine... is hard to find in the world."
Feng Jinyuan's heart tightened, and her expression turned even more ugly, "Didn't you say there would be one in the Flower House?"
"This subordinate neglected his duty." The secret guard didn't explain much and just admitted his mistake.
Feng Jinyuan felt cold in his heart. He knew that that kind of medicine was just a legendary thing. It was a rare thing if he could find it, and it was normal if he couldn't find it. However, without that kind of medicine, Shen Yu would have to deal with a lot of difficulties in the future.
How will she survive? Next year, next year she will get haircut?
Little did she know that Feng Chenyu was also worried about the same problem at this time, but she suddenly remembered what Feng Yuheng said that day: Sister, I dare to bet you that if you give me more money in the future,
Woolen cloth!
She seemed to understand something, and stood up suddenly, calling Yi Lin: "Let's go to Tongshengxuan!".
